Detail Living on the Edges of State School-Funding Policies: The Plight of At-Risk, Limited- English-Proficient, and Gifted Children Bibliografi Author: Baker, Bruce D. Bahasa: (EN )     Penerbit: Unika Atma Jaya     Tahun Terbit: 2006     Jenis: Article Fulltext: 699EP155.pdf (85.0KB; 1 download) Abstract This study explores the rationality of state aid allocations to local school districts for providing opportunities to at-risk, limited-english-proficient (LEP), and gifted and talented pupils, referred to throughout as fringe populations, using data from the National Center for Education Statistics 1995-1996 Common Core of Data. Findings indicate that state aid programs for these populations are largely idiosyncratic. States with exemplary programs for fringe populations are Texas-where LEP aid falls slightly below, but compensatory aid meets, minimal adequacy benchmarks and is both rational and equitable, and gifted education aid is allocated in an equalized pattern-and Virginia, where compensatory aid passes on all three measures, and gifted education aid is substantial and strongly equalized. States with consistently less than exemplary records include Kansas-which provides uniformly inadequate, questionably rational, and partially disequalizing aid for compensatory and LEP programs-and New Mexico, whose aid allocations resemble those of Kansas.
